Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/19
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/19 Cold , rutty and hard trails. Thats what we have right now. Just a super lite dusting of new snow overnight and things arent looking promising for the next week and that inclcudes 40s next week. We had that awesome teaser of to much snow and then it left us as fast as it came. The wait will be on again. I certainly do not like putting out these negative things all the time but its the way it is. Pics below are from outside my door this morning. Rock hard and slippeery. Even with we had a foot of new snow its going to take alot to where the groomers can get on it again. Thanks for checking in and we certainly need more snow chants.

This is for Friday, February 28th into Saturday, March 1st. Good!! Where I’m staying I could throw a snowball on m 28!! WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Winter ain't done with us just yet! A vigorous clipper system barrels through tomorrow bringing a nice swath of heavy snow to parts of the UP. The further south you go, the later in the day it'll be. Likely around the evening drive home a burst of snow moves through quickly coating the ground. This is along an arctic cold front that drops our temps for several days. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyWinter ain't done with us just yet!

❄ Snow arrives this morning for much of northern MI, especially north of M-72.
- Eastern upper: Snow continues into this evening (may mix with rain at times).
- Northern lower: Snow ends late morning/midday. Turning mild with scattered afternoon rain showers.
🌡 Temperatures fall area-wide this evening through tonight.
- Flash freeze possible on any wet roadways.
- Additional lake effect snow showers overnight
💨 Gusty winds today into tonight. Peak winds between 7 PM this evening and 4 AM Saturday. Isolated power outages possible. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
Notice the heavy snow across the UP through almost the entire day. This is why some areas will go up to 11" or maybe even slightly more.
Winds will be HOWLING. Gusts over 50mph are likely. This can lead to blizzard conditions. I wouldn't be surprised to see some typical problem spots have road closures (M-28). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

The last 3 days have been 40*+ and very sunny today. Thankfully we didn’t get the inch of rain they were calling for! Thanks to Frank for doing some recon today from the truck. Areas that are bare and really bare now. Everything I’ve seen of the trails it looks like we faired VERY WELL for the weather we had so far this week. As temps drop back down we hope to get our units back on the trial for a pass and get things flattened out for the weekend.
Unfortunately looks like early next week is another wave of warm weather so we’ll groom as temps permit. #jordanvalley #gaylord
